Weather in Bharatpur in February

Nepal · 20-year averages, February

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, February is the one. Highs average 27.8 °C, lows 14.2 °C, and rain falls on 3 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 4 of 12 in Bharatpur: past the worst of the year but short of November, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 3 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 36.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 6.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 42 mm — roughly 210% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 94 mm across the twenty years measured — a 94 mm spread around an average of 20 mm. The average is real but almost no individual February looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 5.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and the air is dry at 40% humidity, which makes the heat far more bearable than the same figure somewhere humid — and dehydrates you faster than you expect.

How February sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 4.2 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 5.5 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in February

11.2 hours of daylight, gaining 0.7 hours across the month. That is between Bharatpur's extremes of 13.9 and 10.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 27.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

February in Bharatpur versus nearby

If Bharatpur is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Pokhara is close enough to be a coin toss — 6.1 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Kathmandu is close enough to be a coin toss — 7.4 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: February works, with November the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
